In a statement posted on her Twitter account on Aug. 4, Brampton North MP Ruby Sahota said she would continue to work in federal government.
“After a few weeks of contemplation and speaking with my family, trusted colleagues and friends, I have arrived at the decision that the greatest benefit I can be to Brampton is by advocating at the federal level,” she said.
Sahota was first elected as an MP with the Liberal Party of Canada in 2015, winning re-election in 2019 and 2021. She serves as a deputy government whip.
